art trade with of her gorgeous character, Dakota. ;w; felt like drawing her in a bikini because the summer's gonna be ending soon and I wanted to have at least one beach-themed piece up. <3 as always, there are things that need improvements or tweeking, but I generally like the way this came out. :3
I. love. her. hair. and the rest of her design, hehe. so many colours. and y'know, believe it or not, I wanted to colour this traditionally, but I don't have the markers for her fur pattern and that was gonna bug me. ><
